INTRODUCTION - HOW TO REMOVE THINGS THAT HARM US?The more we create toxicity, the more difficult for us to feel our own nature. Natural state of the body is to be healthy. Natural state of mind is to be blissful. Natural state of energy is to flow. Remove the causes. Refrain. Go away from things that harm us.
PRELUDE - BHAGAVAD GITAWar between two family - Please take me to the middle - between the two armies Arjuna breaks down and losing his power Krishna gives a very specific teaching: 3 qualities / gunas (Tamas, Rajas, Sattva)
3 GUNAS COMPETITNG EACH OTHERTamas: darkness, night, heaviness, gravity, pulling down -> we feel very tired, lazy. Raja: transformation. Restless, agitated, competitive, want to achieve, very sharp, strong. We work too much. Overactive. Planning, organizing, how we can improve, make thing better. Sattva: light,daylight. Body is optimal state, aligned, middle way, balanced, alert, happiness, cheerfulness, ease. Clarity, clairvoyance, seeing things the way they are. content. /// Those are in conflict between themselves Competing for dominance Always one of them will be more activating in our body and mind. // Need to do certain things to invoke Sattva (prayer, meditation, yoga, etc...) Most of the time going from tamas to rajas and back. // Our society is very tamasic & rajasic. City, stimulation, very busy, always running forward, television, alcohol, cigarette, meat etc... BRING SATTVA INTO YOUR LIFESattva has the quality of balance. If we can create good conditions for Sattva to come, then we balance raja and tamas. Transforming competitiveness into leadership, aggressiveness into compassion etc...
->WE ARE WHAT WE EATIf we eat tamas food, we become tamasic If we eat raja food, we become rajasic If we eat sattva food, we become sattvasic // Tamasic food is animal product, dead animal cheese, butter fried food // Rajasic food processed food (sugar, chemical, coffee, alcohol spicy food (garlic, oignon) // Sattvic food fruits and vegetable WHAT CAN YOU REMOVE NOW FOR YOUR HEALTH?

Can I find the center? -feeling the hands, relaxing from the heart to the hands -feeling abdomen, feeling the inhalation and exhalation -feeling the jaws, separating the teeth from each other -feeling the eyes, turning the gaze inside ------- with inhalation complete focus of the inhalation with exhalation complete relaxation, what can I release right now with the exhalation? thoughts, mental event, pain, discomfort, sadness, impatience Every exhalation is an opportunity to release, to let go, to surrender No instruction, release everything, dive deeper No techniques, no controle, only pure awareness
DAILY WAR BETWEEN OUR HIGHER SELF AND LOWER SELF Fall and get up Show up everyday Step in the mat Win your battle Create momentum Completely natural to have the resistance Humanistic psychology (Maslow) -> Jonas complexe (afraid of our greatness, of our power and strength)

HOW TO EAT?Enjoy Your Food
This is the most important tip. Without food we cannot survive, so, for this reason, nature has made eating an incredibly pleasurable experience. Nothing could be more natural than to feel hungry, we should embrace this rather than trying to fight it. Deciding to eat nothing but cucumbers and wheat-grass for a month may seem like a good idea, but after a few days you will more than likely find yourself profoundly miserable! Forgoing the pleasure of eating will just create a depressed mind-state which can be just as unhealthy, or even worse, than a poor diet.
We may have been conditioned over many years to enjoy unhealthy food, and modern processed food contains lots of addictive additives. However, by slowly introducing healthier options we can retrain our bodies to enjoy them. We tend to crave whatever we have eaten recently, so if you ate a pizza or a cheeseburger yesterday the chances are you would be craving this type of food today. The good news is that this type of conditioning is only temporary; in general, it only takes around 6 days of healthy eating for your taste buds to “rewire”. Once you have retrained your body, the feeling of energy and wellbeing you receive from healthy eating will continue to reinforce this positive pattern of behavior.
Chew Your Food Properly
In the Ayurvedic tradition, it is advised to chew each mouthful of food 33 times before swallowing. While this may sound a little excessive, it certainly makes sense to adequately chew your food given what we know about how the digestive system works. If large chunks of food are swallowed it will take much more work for the stomach to chemically break them down, placing an unnecessary strain on the digestive system. A drunk person scoffing down a kebab at 3 am will have a lot more to worry about than just a hangover the next morning!
Eat At A Moderate Pace
Eating slowly helps us to bring awareness to our eating. This creates a greater appreciation of the good, and it also gives us a chance to listen to our body – recognising when we are no longer hungry. It is recommended that you put your fork down between mouthfuls of food. This way you are not subconsciously thinking about the next mouthful while chewing the present one. This can be thought of in the same way as spiritual practices which encourage us to live in the present moment.
Don’t Over-eat
It is better to stop eating before you are completely full, you will find that after waiting a short time you will feel fully satisfied and no longer hungry. This is because it takes some time for your brain to recognise when your stomach has had enough. Also, digestion is easier when the stomach is not totally full. A good analogy is imagining trying to make a smoothie with a blender totally stuffed full of bananas, it would have trouble spinning. If undigested food is left in your stomach it can rot, releasing a host of toxic gasses and other substances, many of the tips in this article can help prevent this from happening.
Don’t Split Your Attention
Eating in front of the television or work-desk is a bad idea. Your attention should be focused on eating, which will make it much easier to follow the other tips in this guide. For those who practice meditation, this is also a great opportunity to bring mindfulness to the everyday habit of eating. The digestive system takes up a lot of energy. If we eat while distracted by other tasks we will be taking up needed energy, resulting in problems with digestion. One way to keep your attention focused on your food is to imagine eating like a king! Would a king stop eating to answer an email?
Rest After Eating
As digestion takes up so much energy, after eating we should avoid rushing to get back to work or any other distracting tasks. It is best to sit for at least 10 minutes to allow our stomachs to process the food.
Don’t Talk With Food In Your Mouth
As children, we were all told that eating with your mouth full is rude, but we often forget this advice as our eating habits are so intertwined with work and socialising. Refraining from speaking until all food is adequately chewed and swallowed prevents us from losing our awareness and aids digestion.
Avoid Eating When Emotional
Eating shortly after an argument, or any time you are in an extreme state of emotion should generally be avoided. It is difficult for the body to process strong emotions and adequately digest food at the same time – this is why people often completely lose their appetite during periods of grief or trauma. If you find yourself in an emotional state, consider postponing eating until you feel more relaxed.
Only Eat Sitting Down
Even when snacking, it is best to sit down and eat with awareness. Eating while standing or walking makes it much harder for the body to digest food.
Avoid Drinking While Eating
In the Ayurvedic tradition, drinking anything (even water) while eating is generally avoided. This may be difficult for us as we have had a lifetime of drinking and eating together, but it makes sense to avoid filling the stomach with liquid as this will make digestion harder.
Eating With Awareness
The common theme behind all of these tips is bringing awareness to our hunger, seeing it as a friend rather than an enemy to be defeated. Rather than listening to dieting experts or following social convention, by eating mindfully we will learn to listen to our bodies, returning to a natural state of healthy living that we all have the potential to manifest.
